The training workshop provided and reinforced knowledge about Non Nuoc Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark; its geological, cultural, and historical heritage values; experiential routes within the geopark; as well as the Global Geoparks Network and regional networks.

At the workshop, students were guided to integrate club activities with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and to respond to international events launched by the Global Geoparks Network, such as Earth Day (April 22), Asia-Pacific Geopark Week (April 22–27), World Environment Day (June 5), International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples (August 9), the “Clean Up the World” campaign, International Geodiversity Day (October 6), and International Mountain Day (December 11). They also practiced developing activity plans for the “Geopark Ambassador” clubs and improved their communication and teamwork skills.

During the field survey program, club members practiced designing communication activities and environmental and landscape protection initiatives at heritage sites such as Khuoi Ky Stone Village and Ban Gioc Waterfall (Dam Thuy Commune); Lung Luong Ammonite (Lung Nam Commune); Pac Bo Special National monument (Truong Ha Commune); Phja Oac Granite and Phja Oac panorama (Thanh Cong Commune); and Special National Monument - 1950 Border Victory Site (Dong Khe Commune).

At each survey site, members organized group activities focusing on the historical, cultural, geological, and biodiversity values of the geopark. They also showcased their talents through performances about their homeland Cao Bang and efforts to preserve ethnic languages in schools. Through these activities, students strengthened their knowledge, developed teamwork skills, and promoted their individual strengths.

The training program aims to equip teachers and students with knowledge and skills, enhance their capacity to implement club activities linked to environmental protection education and heritage education within the geopark. It also seeks to promote communication and awareness of the Non Nuoc Cao Bang UNESCO Global Geopark designation and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Ultimately, the program creates an environment for students to consolidate knowledge, develop skills, share initiatives in organizing club activities, improve the effectiveness of geopark education in schools, foster national pride, and raise awareness of preserving and promoting local cultural and natural heritage values.
